Results Based Accountability (RBA) is a popular evaluation framework, born right here in Maryland. Join us from an introduction to an evaluation model that is non-punitive, prioritizes story telling, and is simple for pros and laypeople alike to use. We will briefly present the basics of how the framework uses measures performance for systems and programs, and allows users to collaboratively make meaning and action plan based on data. Then we will jump into how we apply RBA in real life at Baltimore’s Promise and Family League of Baltimore, using the principles to meet the needs of large portfolios of grantees in perinatal health, youth development and family support. You will leave the session with concepts you can use right away in your work, including aligning your performance measurement to RBA’s three key questions:
1. How Much we do/ How Many we serve
2. How Well we do it, and
3. Is anyone Better Off as a result.
